Book Review - Visual Explorers: Space

About the Book
What's the Milky Way? What's a galaxy? How far away is the farthest planet in our solar system? How hot is the sun? Discover all this and more about deep, dark space. Engaging text, detailed facts, and impressive statistics give children exciting scientific insight into the world around them and the universe beyond. A glossary at the end of the book helps reinforce the information. Parents, teachers, and librarians will want to collect all of the books in this series to create a very cool first encyclopedia to build early research skills.

My Take on the Book
I think most people are fascinated with space and the objects in space. We are amazed by space travel and the photographs that satellites send back to Earth of other plants, stars, and even galaxies.

I enjoyed reading this book. It has beautiful photographs of the sun, planets, asteroids, comets, stars, galaxies and other space travel, including man landing on the moon. The text is easy to read, interesting, and adjacent to each photograph. Each section of text gives the reader specific information without a lot of reading.
